Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a honeycomb structure. More specifically, the present invention relates to a honeycomb structure which hardly has a crack at each end face and which is superior in durability.
  • a honeycomb structure in which predetermined cells are plugged by a plugging material has heretofore been used as a filter (e.g., a diesel particulate filter: DPF) for trapping/removing particulate matters included in dust-containing fluids such as an exhaust gas exhausted from a diesel engine (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. JP-A-7-332064 , for example).
  • a filter e.g., a diesel particulate filter: DPF
  • porosities of partition walls of the honeycomb structure have been increased in order to reduce a pressure loss in treating the exhaust gas in the honeycomb structure and to treat the exhaust gas more efficiently (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. JP-A-2002-219319 , for example).
  • a honeycomb structure 1 shown in Fig. 2 has a plurality of cells 4, each cell 4 being surrounded by cell walls 2 and functioning as a fluid passage. Predetermined cells 4 are plugged by a plugging material at one end face to form plug portion 3. Remaining cells 4 are plugged by the plugging material at the other end face (not shown).
  • EP-A-1184066 describes an exhaust gas purifying filter having a honeycomb structure of porous ceramic providing the partition walls.
  • honeycomb structure of porous ceramic providing the partition walls.
  • EP-A-1251247 describes an exhaust gas purifying filter having a plugged honeycomb structure of cordierite.
  • the plugs are used as part of the filter.
  • the porosity of the plugs is greater than that of the partition walls and examples where it is less than that of the partition walls.
  • the present invention has been developed in consideration of the above-described problem and aims to provide a honeycomb structure whose end face is not easily cracked and which is superior in durability.
  • a honeycomb structure is provided as set out in claim 1.
  • the porosity of the plugging material is 105% or more with respect to the porosity of the cell wall.
  • the porosity of the cell wall is 46% or more.
  • the predetermined cells plugged at one end face and the remaining cells plugged at the other end face are arranged alternately so as to form checkerboard patterns at the end faces.
  • a Young's modulus of a plugging material is set to be lower than that of a cell wall. Therefore, when a stress is applied on an end face of the honeycomb structure, the cell wall is distorted, and the plugging material is also similarly distorted. Accordingly, since partial stress concentration on the cell wall is relaxed, the cell wall can be inhibited from being cracked. Moreover, strength of the plugging material is set to be lower than that of the cell wall. Therefore, when the stress is applied on the end face of the honeycomb structure, the strength of the cell wall is high, and the wall is not cracked by the plugging material. Furthermore, the plugging material is distorted before the cell wall is cracked, and the cell wall can be inhibited from being cracked.
  • a porosity of the plugging material is set to 97% or more of a porosity of the cell wall, the Young's modulus of the plugging material becomes lower than that of the cell wall. Since the strength of the plugging material becomes lower than that of the cell wall, the cell wall can be inhibited from being cracked.
  • Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a honeycomb structure of the present invention , and is a plan view in which a part of an end face of the honeycomb structure is enlarged.
  • a honeycomb structure 1 comprising a plurality of cells 4. Each cell is surrounded by cell walls 2 and functions as a fluid passage.
  • Predetermined cells 4 are plugged by a plugging material at one end face to form plug portion 3.
  • Remaining cells 4 are plugged by the plugging material at the other end face (not shown). Young's modulus of the plugging material is lower than that of the cell wall 2.
  • the plugged cell and open cell are arranged alternately so as to form checkerboard patterns at the end faces.
  • the Young's modulus of the plugging material is set to be lower than that of the cell wall 2. Therefore, when a stress is added to the end face of the honeycomb structure 1, the plug portion 3 is also distorted in the same manner as in the cell wall 2, and partial stress concentration onto the cell wall 2 is accordingly relaxed. Therefore, the cell wall 2 can be inhibited from being cracked, and durability can be enhanced.
  • Examples of a case where the stress is added to the end face of the honeycomb structure 1 include: a case where a thermal stress due to a temperature difference or the like is added to the end face when heating the honeycomb structure to regenerate the structure by burning soot; a case where the thermal stress is generated in the end face by an influence of a temperature distribution in a firing furnace or heat generated by combustion of a pore forming agent or the like in a firing step during a manufacturing process; and the like.
  • the present invention is preferably used in a case where the porosity of the cell wall is 46% or more. That is, the honeycomb structure has been developed in order to address a problem that the cell wall is easily cracked because of a high porosity of the cell wall of the honeycomb structure in recent years, and the invention brings about a large effect on a honeycomb structure in which the porosity is 46% or more and which is more easily cracked.
  • the honeycomb structure of the invention is preferably used in a case where a thickness of the cell wall is 400 ⁇ m or less. When the thickness of the cell wall decreases, the cell wall is easily cracked. Therefore, a larger effect is brought in the honeycomb structure whose cell wall has a thickness of 400 ⁇ m or less and is more easily cracked.
  • a material for the cell wall 2 is porous ceramic for use as filters such as a DPF.
  • Silicon carbide is use as its thermal conductivity is high and heat is easily radiated.
  • a shape of the honeycomb structure is, for example, a columnar structure with the end face shown in Fig. 1 being a bottom face, and a cross-sectional shape (shape of the bottom face) of the honeycomb structure vertical to a central axis of the columnar structure is a polygonal shape such as a tetragonal shape, a circular shape, an elliptic shape, an oblong shape, a modified shape or the like.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the cell and the shape is triangular, tetragonal, hexagonal, circular or the like.
  • a cell density of the cells formed by cell walls there is no particular restriction as to a cell density of the cells formed by cell walls.
  • too small a cell density results in a filter of insufficient strength and insufficient effective GSA (geometrical surface area); too large a cell density results in a large pressure loss when a subject fluid passes.
  • the cell density is in a range of preferably 6 to 2,000 cells/in. 2 (0.9 to 311 cells/cm 2 ), more preferably 50 to 1,000 cells/in. 2 (7.8 to 155 cells/cm 2 ) most preferably 100 to 400 cells/in. 2 (15.5 to 62.0 cells/cm 2 ).
  • the porosity of the plugging material is 97% or more of that of the cell wall 2. When the porosity is lower than 97%, the Young's modulus of the plugging material is sometimes higher than that of the cell wall 2.
  • the porosity of the plugging material is further preferably 105% or more of that of the cell wall 2 so that the present invention becomes more effective.
  • the same material as that of the cell wall 2 is may be used as the plugging material.
  • the plugging material is a silicon carbide material
